340291 2005-04-01 09:53:00 Whats the BEST PCI-E graphics card I can get (including brand)?? Money is not a problem.
I want something super fast and good for games. Good quality components - therefore the brand matters. Don't care about VIVO or bundled software.
Not overly concerned about SLI either but I can do that if it would be best.
Have had one suggestion about waiting for the R520 which sounds really cool but who knows when it will be out.

340292 2005-04-01 10:42:00 Well; judging by the tests run by PC World it looks like
HIS Radeon X850 XT takes the cake...

340293 2005-04-01 11:05:00 Tests? Hmm, must go buy a mag tomorrow then. It did on Toms Hardware too although the SLI 6800Us beat it. But then thats 2 cards.

However all reviews don't mention reliability/quality, whats the HIS like in that dept?

340297 2005-04-18 21:47:00 depends on what motherboard you have Prescott (11)
